Over the past five years, Australia’s property boom has added more than $230,000 to the median dwelling value — that’s a 39.1% gain according to recent data from CoreLogic. It’s a big jump, and it reflects real momentum in the market.

But here’s the twist — this isn’t even close to the biggest boom we’ve seen. In percentage terms, the early 2000s and late 1980s saw growth closer to 80%. So while this recent surge is solid, the biggest gains could still be ahead.

Why This Boom Feels Different (But Pays More)

Here’s the thing: even though the percentage growth looks lower than past booms, the actual dollar value added is higher.

  • Last 5 years: +39.1% = $230K increase
  • 2000s boom: +79.7% = $140K increase
  • 1980s boom: +75.5% = $60K increase

So while the growth rate might seem “moderate,” the cash gain is unmatched. If you owned a home during this period, you’ve just made a huge leap forward in wealth. If you didn’t — this is your wake-up call.

Why Prices Are Climbing (And What You Can Do About It)

Prices are going up for a reason — and that reason is opportunity. Here’s what’s driving it:

  • Low supply = fewer homes on the market
  • High demand = more people looking to buy
  • Resilient economy = jobs and wages are holding firm

These are the exact conditions we at TMAP teach students to watch for. And right now, those conditions are pointing to more growth — especially in the most affordable markets.

Capital Cities Are Moving — But Not All at Once

Here’s how some key cities are tracking:

  • Perth: Booming again after a massive +137.8% run in the 2000s.
  • Brisbane & Adelaide: Affordable, high-demand markets showing steady gains.
  • Sydney & Melbourne: Growing, but a bit slower than past peaks.
  • Hobart & Canberra: Riding the momentum from earlier value surges.

The takeaway? Each city moves at its own pace. Smart buyers don’t wait for the news to tell them — they get educated and act early.

TMAP’s Message: Don’t Miss This Window

This is the kind of boom that rewards action. Property owners are building wealth fast. But those still watching from the sidelines are losing ground with every month that passes.

At TMAP, we’re seeing this play out across the country: students who got in 1–2 years ago are now sitting on six-figure gains. The difference? They took the first step.
